The NRA is harmless, and not pro gun enough. This country needs to be better armed
You mean like Dodge, Kansas was in 1870? They had at least 50 homicides per 100,000 making it worse than all but Detroit and Chicago of today. In 1871, it dropped to 5 per 100,000 when they started the no open carry law and enforced it. The reason they did this was that they got tired of their town being shot to pieces by cowboys on a lark and too many petty arguments being settle with guns. In fact, until the early 21st century, Dallas Texas had a law against open carry. Most of our larger cities in Colorado had those laws here as well and many still do although in the counties, it's still legal to be able to open carry as long as the weapon is in the ready position.
I am a great proponent of CCW as long as that person is trained. They keep trying to ram legislation to remove the training requirements so that anyone can carry CCW. At least, with Open Carry, I can judge the person carrying whether they are a nutcase or not. With an unregulated CCW, all I see is just a nutcase that may or may not be armed. And we have way too many nutcases roaming the streets.
As one comedian said, if your Fore Fathers took a look around at us today, they would grab their erasers and start erasing the 2nd amendment fast or at least reword it from hell and gone due to a very deluted gene pool.
